Porcelain
Lady Nefertiti.
Last time: She might be dressed in a bathrobe, people staring at her strangely but at least she was free from Eric for now. No doubt he'd try to come and look for her but for now she had to make a phone call. She stared down at her bare feet as she walked down the street towards a pay phone hoping she wasn't pregnant.

Chapter 38: Slighted part 1
-Kaiba Mansion-
"So it's been decided that Kaiba contacts the school board to inform them of the going-on's?" Joey said watching Kaiba and Tea looking at each other. Normally he would've punched moneybags in the gut for looking at her like that but hell… they were married! He couldn't possibly pull them apart now could he? Kaiba would tear him apart with the power he had at his fingertips. He shook his head and rubbed his temples. What a crazy day this was turning out to be. And come to think of it, with crazy Eric running around everywhere-his sister Serenity could be in danger to. Eric seemed to be the type of guy to take any female….how disgusting that sounded.
"Yeah." Yugi said looking elsewhere other than the happy couple looking at each other. He didn't like this but what choice did he have now besides listening to everyone? Perhaps he had been too late, no definitely late in telling Tea that he liked her so much. He would get over it but he wasn't sure about Yami…oh in the holy name of RA! Where had that pharaoh run off to? He definitely would not come this way (this is probably the last place he would check for his group) perhaps it was better for now though.
"Of course Kaiba ain't going to tell the board the 'entire' real truth of what's been going on right?" Joey said.
"Of course mutt." Kaiba said. Then seeing Tea's look he fixed it and gritted, "Yes that is correct…Wheeler." Tea nodded as Kaiba breathed a sigh of relief. Tea was scary sometimes.
"I…" Tea started. Kaiba shook his head saying not to worry about it.
-Serenity- (Pay phone)
She walked to a pay phone that was about 4 blocks away from Tea's old home. It was by a busy intersection and she didn't care about the many odd glances that were coming her way….at least it was near lots and lots of people and that was a comforting thought indeed. She heard whispered comments but shook her head as she dialed her brother's cell #.
"odd girl.."
"must be cosplay of some sort…"
"Didn't her mother teach her not to run around half-naked in the streets?"
"Who-hoo hottie! Lookin' good!"
"must be a homeless.."
"nah…a runaway but one who leaves without any belongings?"
Shakily she deposited change into the phone, no telling that Eric could still chase her down, people would just assume that she was some rebel child who ran away from home because she didn't like it there and just wanted out. She wondered what Joey would think about what she did and what happened to her? Would he shun her away saying she was some selfish bitch? Or perhaps now she had learned her lesson or he would just stare her down and say she had it coming? Or would he help her?
-Phone Call-
"Briing!"
"Briing"
"Hello? Hello?" Serenity whispered in the phone hoping, praying that he'd pick up.
"Hello? Talk to me and if this iz some prank call I'll hunt you down and make you pay for the phone call!" Joey said merrily into the phone.
"Joey! Are you there? Can you please come and pick me up? I'm…I'm…" Serenity's voice cracked.
"Seren'?" Joey exclaimed into the phone. (at this statement some of his friends looked at each other shaking their heads but they didn't know the 'extent' of the problem)
"Where are ya?" he said.
"A couple of blocks from Tea's house…" Serenity whispered.
"WHAAT? You stay right where you are and I'm coming to pick you up! Don't move!" he said.
"Okay…" Serenity said and the both turned the phone off.
-End call-
She bit her lip as she stared at the pay phone in her hands. Joey didn't ask for specifics. He just assumed she was in danger and it was probably because she was close to Tea's house and that's where the damn pervert Eric lived along with that wench, she could not be called Tea's mother to allow Eric to take care of her. Hell Eric wasn't even related to Tea…he was just her mother's boyfriend who wanted Tea… to rape Tea and Serenity shuddered. Bad images…past images. She was such a fool. She could only hope that she didn't accidently run into Yami anytime soon. He would read her mind but then would he blow her cover? She wasn't about to admit it to the world that Eric had raped her yet. She sighed as she stared at her attire then. How would she explain this one though? She closed her eyes trying to block everything out but then her eyes flew open at a sudden realization.
Wait-a-minute…where was Joey? While she was on the phone with him she heard background voices. A growling and warning voice saying…
'mutt face…if you want to…'
And a very sharp feminine voice saying,
'Seto! What did we discuss earlier?'
'I forgot my dear...care to teach me again?' Kaiba said innocently as she blushed red and smacked his chest lightly. Baka. Embarrassing her in front of her friends.
"You guys knock it off!" Tristin said shaking his head. Sheesh they needed to take this type of talk elsewhere and besides he could tell Yugi was hurt enough by Tea's interesting marriage to Kaiba. But seriously he needed to get over it…it seemed as if he was taking this more to heart.
Those were the voices of Kaiba and Tea. Was everyone at Kaiba's place then? What in the world was going on? She shivered as she awaited her brother's arrival and prepared for the lecture of a lifetime. All hell broke loose when she stepped foot into Domino and she stared at the ground…and it was all her fault. How was it that she managed to create such a mess? And in such a short time too?
-Kaiba's place-
"Alright! We gotta go pick ma sista up! Mai will you drive me there in your car?" Joey said.
Tea tensed and Kaiba rubbed her shoulder, trying to offer some sort of comfort. He didn't want Serenity here either, and by god if she tried anything, he'd have her jailed for life or sent to Russia and that Eric…well he just deserved something special and Kaiba grinned evilly inside. No one in the group knew what had happened to Serenity or that perhaps she had turned over a new leaf, so to speak.
"Sure hun." Mai said as she grabbed her keys. Well at least Joey and her would get some alone time. She sighed as she stared at his retreating back. Sometimes she wished that he would be all excited and gung-ho about her. She didn't even know if she was a mere girlfriend to him. Sometimes she wished it were something more. "Wait up Joseph Wheeler!" and the door shut behind them.
Tea watched their retreating backs and bit her lip staring at her husband, Seto. It was only a while ago they'd driven her and that vile Eric out of the mansion….courtesy of his bloodhound dogs in fact. He patted her back assuring her that he'd take care of her and wouldn't let anything happen to her. Now all they had to do was wait it out. Tea sighed and decided it was best to sit it out and wait till all hell broke loose and Serenity made another attempt to claim Kaiba as hers. Inwardly she growled at that thought. Kaiba was hers! And hers only! And she'd make it clear to Serenity when she saw her next.
-Joey and Mai- (on their way to pick up Serenity from busy intersection)
Mai was driving like…well like she usually drove, a crazy lunatic on a mission from hell. "Mai! Yeah slow down!" Joey exclaimed from the passenger side clutching on for dear life. They weren't far from where Serenity was so there was no need to go top speed.
"No time Joey!" Mai said turning around to look at him.
SCREECH! and several cars almost hit each other, yelling could be heard from other cars and other insults like, 'stupid teens and their stupid tendencies to get others killed.'
"GYAAAA!" Joey yelled holding a hand to his heart. "Keep your eyes on the street Mai!" Suddenly Joey saw her, his baby sister standing next to a lone pay phone looking downright forlorn and upset about god-knew-what. Her sunny nature and smile all but disappeared. Joey just hadn't noticed her attire that clung to her like a second skin….but Mai did and wrinkled her nose distastefully. She was a woman…and she knew. Her skimpy attire spoke volumes to one such as Mai. It was written on Serenity's face. Something went down and clearly wasn't rated T with her…and with that bastard Eric living so close by…but Joey hadn't noticed yet but what would he say once he knew?
"Joey! It was so horrible!"Serenity said clinging to him.
"Shh…it'll be okay. We came ta get you Seren' isn't that right Mai?" Joey said as he turned towards Mai who was silently assessing Serenity, staring her down, not paying attention to Joey.
"Seren' what are you wearing?" he said finally seeing her outfit and trying to cover her from view, many passing males hooting or staring at her. "Oi! Keep moving unless you want to feel my fists in your face!" he yelled at the other guys.
"boy must be from the Yakuza…and that must be his girlfriend." One said as they stared at the scantily clad girl in purple.
"And that bathrobe girl must be a new recruit." Another said.
"Steer clear of him dear. We don't need to get involved with those types of people."
"But mother! Can I just talk to him? He looks dangerous and after I watched fast and the furious I was wondering if he really knows…mother!" a girl whined as she got dragged alongside her mom who was looking over her shoulder nervously while dragging her curious daughter along.
Mai sighed. This was not new. "Joey. People are staring at you. Sheesh. Let me handle it." She grabbed Serenity by the arm and shoved her in the backseat of her purple convertible. Serenity looking shell-shocked said nothing. Joey sighed as both, him and Mai got back in the car and Mai drove off muttering they'd be stopping by her place first. There was no way she could allow Tea to see Serenity dressed in a bathrobe. And why? Because she would get upset that Serenity had been hurt and that it was all her fault. And then Kaiba would get angry because his Tea was in distress of god knew what and hunt Eric down to get revenge. A mess…it would turn out to be a big mess.
"So we are going to my apartment first." Mai said in an iron voice seeing Serenity, a question in her eyes. "Your hideous attire makes me want to gag, even if the beautiful robe belongs to TEA." Mai emphasized looking in her rearview mirror. Joey narrowed his eyes as he turned to look at his sister's pale face suspiciously.
"What were you doing at Tea's house Seren? And why did you leave your clothes behind? Only to wear this…this…robe?" Mai looked over her shoulder and held her silence.
"Joey I just need to speak to Tea as soon as possible." Serenity said bowing her head, ignoring Mai's all too knowing look.
"Yeah…Yeah…" he said and turned around, shaking his head and looked on ahead. They came to a screeching stop right in front of Mai's apartment building. "Uh Mai? When and where did you learn how to drift like that?"
-Mai's apartment-
Mai all but half-dragged Serenity up to her apartment as Joey followed them. She unlocked the door as the three stepped in. It was well kept, clean and tidy—everyone just assumed Mai's apartment would be haphazard, in disarray etc. Mai left the two siblings in the living room and went to her bedroom muttering things like,
'Even I wear more than that'
'Stupid girl'
'I knew it'
Joey just stared at his younger sibling, and she tried avoiding his eyes looking anywhere but at him. "Ah-ha!" Mai said in a triumphant voice as she stepped into the living room. "These are for you to wear. Don't thank me Serenity. I just don't want anyone to see you, god forbid, walking in that robe anymore. You can return them later or whenever." Mai said in a careless voice not caring to see the grateful look on Serenity's face. Serenity took the clothes and headed to the bathroom to change.
She stared at herself in the mirror in disbelief. She was wearing a blue mini-skirt (that wasn't a mini on her) and a blue lacy half-sleeve top but the top was so huge on her. Well Mai did have a bigger chest size than her and she could bet that the reason it took Mai a while to find something for her was because of Joey and what he thought would be 'appropriate' for his little sister.
"Hun are you done in there yet?" Mai asked in an irritated voice. "We have to get to Kaiba's. He isn't known for his patience." Joey laughed aloud and Serenity smirked from the bathroom. She opened the bathroom door and walked out, a tiny smile on her face. It was high time she fixed things between her friends and Tea. Whatever evil and malicious thoughts she had about Tea were now forgotten and she hoped that Tea would forgive her. perhaps... for right now though it was asking too much of her.
